Hello, I'm Stephen Pak and I'm an I.T. professional with a passion for I.T. Technology and drive to help companies to succeed.

With years of I.T. network experience and training from Virtual Private Networks to VOIP technologies, including my recent certification in AWS Cloud, I am confident that I can be a valuable asset to any organization.
I've handled many roles from being a pure I.T. technician to an I.T. manager. Often times, I've handled both roles together while achieving 99% uptime and reducing I.T. costs by as much as 80% by utilizing new technologies.
I am confident of my skills and excited about the future of technology. Thank you, for your time, I'm excited and looking forward to new opportunities.

    Interests

    Currently, I live in Los Angeles, California, just a bit north from downtown LA.

    When not involved in new exciting technology, I am an avid sports fan, following various competitive sports from NFL and NBA to college football. I enjoy following many professional sports teams especially those teams that carry a deep history and tradition. I am fascinated by teams and athletes overcoming difficulties and odds to rise to stardom.

    I am also a fan of many popular novels and read many books by authors such as Lee Childs, James Patterson and George R.R. Martin. In my free time, I like to relax with a new novel while listening to good music and sipping a cappuccino.
